[Q] Can someone mod a rom for me? please :)

can anyone mod a ACS rom for me so it can say "Stevie" in the lock screen and notification bar? instead of acs

bump.......

there's a couple problems with this. What theme are you using. If your using a theme your gonna have to contact that dev and ask him. If your just using the rom I'm the man to talk to.
if I do this for you then others are going to want it done then it will be time consuming. And I won't be able to work in my other projects. However I wrote a how-to on changing the sprint branding. You can always follow those instructions.
If I have some free time I may try to fit this in.

you need to give the thread some time so people can see it. If no response in 24 hours then bump it. Not in the same time or in a matter of minutes. We don't live on the internet

I either suggest trying it your self or wait to see if I have time to do it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

i tried it the other day but i messed up and i think i would rather wait for whenever you have time to mod it im in no rush i just thought it would be cool

just keep trying until you get it to work, you will feel awesome and you may learn a thing or two about android. there are a pretty limited number of ways to mess up such a small change so just do a little reading and you'll figure it out.

+1 to this. I recently started using a theme that I wanted tweaked in one little way. I posted something in the thread and got no response and so started screwing around with it myself. It took a while (and multiple screw ups) but I eventually got it to do what I wanted. However, I learned a ton in the process that made me come up with new and improved ways I might screw up... I mean improve... my phone.
By the way, I think the key to doing this with confidence is doing a full "nandroid" backup (i.e. a backup in clockwork). As long as you do this before messing with anything on the phone, you can pretty much always restore the backup and be right where you were. I got myself stuck a couple times and this saved me.

When I'm working on mods I zip up the files I edited so I can flash and test the mod. I also create a 2nd zip with the same files but un modified. So if the modified zip breaks things I flash the un modified zip

Strings.xml after you decompile framework-res.apk zz_roaming text you'll see it probably says acs already. Pull the framework res.apk decompile in apk manager, then navigate to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values/strings.xml. Scroll down towards the bottom and search for zz_roaming_. Note in apk manager when you recompile and it asks is this a system app choose y. Then it asks to preserve signature as well as files choose yes thenin apk manager you'll now have a keep folder. Delete the file named resources.arsc and then goto place here for modding folder. You'll see unsigned-framework-res.apk in there rename that to framework-res.

Either push it using adb or root explorer. Or use update script from another theme but leaving the file structure the same

Turn usb debugging on in settings applications development. Hook your usb cable open a command prompt and in the terminal cd to the directory with the modded framework and type adb push framework-res.apk system/framework/ and then hit enter. This requires you have the android sdk installed and the tools in your path if u you have trouble with that then get a theme that works on your rom open the theme with a zip program and delete everything inside the system folder except the folder framework. Next open the framework folder and delete both framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. Next drag and drop your framework-res.apk into that framework folder close the zip and flash

Jellybean Porting Thread

This thread is to assist porting of Android 4.1 (Jellybean) to ICS devices
A good base ROM for porting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849

This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device.

The main thing you have to edit is the init.rc, but you may need to edit other things as well. I still have not found the right combinations of edits for my port to boot, Anyway use something like WinMerge to compare the files from the ramdisk of your base ROM with the ramdisk of the SDK. You can also edit the files while you have them in WinMerge.

Thank you so much, I will definitely try using that tool, and that gives me a direction to try towards.
cheers!

Ok guys i feel like im getting closer. The exact error im getting is,
Could not find method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled, referenced from method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.<init>
Anyone have any ideas? I know that settings is crashing but i don't know what to do about it. Here is the full logcat http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065069/

Is the whole pastebin is to replace everything in init.rc? Or some of it?

That means that it can not find com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled that is referenced in the init of the ramdisk. So you need to look at the init of the ramdisk and see where it is looking for that file and then place that file where it is suppose to be.
Also I finally got my port booting but it does not get passed the bootanimation and I got the adb working, yay.

ROM problems thread

Hi everyone, I'm making this so that any problems with ROMS can be discussed here, and any associated fixes. This way we don't clutter the actual ROM threads and all the problems/fixes are in one place. :good:
I'll start it off.
I just ported over a 4.1.2 ROM but the soft keyboard FC's literally every 5 seconds. Any ideas? I tried pulling a logcat from the computer and it says "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory
Attached is a screenshot.
I'm gonna try to install a different keyboard from the playstore and see if that one works.

I had that same problem on one of my first ICS ports, just sub it out for any of the working ones on the Shift. Don't forget to switch out the lib too.

I would say the same thing as ryan, as far as the keyboard is concerned.
And as far as the logcat problem, the only time i have ever had that error was when it was a bad flash. Googling the error gives you a bunch of different reasons this error could happen. I doubt it is a kernel problem, as some sites suggests, because I'm guessing you are using one of the kernels we already have and none of the other roms have the same problem. So I would look into one of the other suggestions that pop up when googling.

Yeah, I'll look into it when I get home today. And i know it cant be a bad flash because i wiped 10 times before flashing it.
Sent from my PG06100

Well i think I found the error. I found a post on stackoverflow that led me to the etc/init.d folder...and in one of the files there I found this
Code:
rm /dev/log/main
Now why that was in there, i have no idea. Hopefully that fixes that part and then I'll just swap out the soft keyboard and Latin_ime.so to fix the AOSP keyboard and all should be good....so if all goes well, expect a new port in the dev section :good:

Really easy, replace the apk with one that you know works... For this example we'll use the 4.2 keyboard from my ROM. Delete both the apk and the libjniLatin_IME.so from system/lib. Replace with the working apk and the corresponding lib (libjniLatin_IMEgoogle.so or something close to that) and rezip. If that doesn't work see if you can get a flashable like the Xperia T keyboard to work after boot. If that doesn't work, there is probably a major problem.

Did the logcat tell you anything about the error? Most times it will mention the lib missing. Even if you see it there it may be the wrong version, and you would need to grab it from the port.

Jellybelly Omega stuck
I flashed Jellybelly Omega to the Shift following the instructions to the letter (multiple times now) and it just gets stuck at the HTC screen. I have left it there for an hour or so, because I know that first boot can take a while. But it just sits there on the HTC screen.

Are you s-on unlocked?
If you are you need to
1. Open the ROM with 7zip or winrar and move the boot.img to where fastboot is located and then run this command from fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If your not check the md5 sum with the one provided on dev-host. And redownload/transfer if needed

Your stumbling is way better than my searching

Thanks. We already have a thread for this.
Fyi, v4a works better in priv-app.

Could you please elaborate??
I've been using v4a as a normal apk file from the start and it's been working perfectly... Any specific reasons as to why priv-app folder is preferred?? Thanks!!

OK lets not try to make this into a "Which zip is best" contest.
Both have their pros and cons:
Your Zip: Can't choose which driver you install (Super / Hi / Battery) but does remove steps for Installing.
Other Zip: Installs more libs but extra steps needed for drivers
What I don't care about:
Who makes the zips
What I do care about:
There is only 1 ViPER4Android thread.
The few of us decided a while ago that we would use the discussion thread for all Viper related stuff. We locked all the existing threads and kept 1 because it had lots of valuable discussion in it.
The problem with the thread is that the OP is not up to date or helpful. The solution to this is that someone takes ownership of that OP and maintains it.
I don't think having this as the main thread is a good idea as all that information is gone. Multiple threads just gets too confusing.
Here is what I think we should do....
Why don't you collaborate with the existing zip makers to make an ultimate zip? Perhaps an Aroma installer zip would be best where you can choose which driver is pre-installed? Or just 3 separate zips, one with each driver?
Then whoever owns the OP of the original thread can post it. Remember XDA is about sharing, not about "thanks" so I don't see any reason not to collaborate with them.

I don't know if this matter, but I can do an universal AROMA script, you only need to give me that three zips for each driver and I will do it. I can use the GitHub so will be more easy to update :good:

Thanks. That's good to know. I don't even know what changes when the driver is installed via the app at this time

The drivers as far as I've seen only changes the sampling rates. Which can basically be thought of as like a megapixel on a camera. The higher the sampling rate, the more detailing nuances and frequencies can be brought out. Of course that really only applies if the sound source is at a higher rate as well.

What would also be good is if it could read a .conf file stored on /sdcard (like elementalx aroma) so there can be an express zip that reads .conf and flashes "favourite" driver
Although that might be more complicated.

So now the question is, what are we going to do with these threads?

Removing Sfinder quick connect

I've searched about it and tried to remove using some advice from here but it didn't work. My phone is rooted and I went to file Explorer.. System.. App and deleted all quick connect files. It's greed out now but still there and I couldn't find files for s finder

You must install Xposed Framework and install G-Touchwiz module to get rid of those

?
Any option without Xposed?

You didn't search very hard if you didn't find the existing threads that discuss this. Nor did you link us to the thread that you talked about.
/system/priv-app/SFinder.apk
Note that you would also need to modify SystemUI.apk to totally remove Sfinder. Possibly you might be able to transplant a modified SystemUI.apk from a S5 custom ROM that has already removed Sfinder.
.

This is a good place to start modding yourself. Just decompile, find the sfinder and quick connect lines in statusbar expanded xml and add android:visibility = "gone"

20:1 that he doesn't do that.

If he knows how, then he would. There is no need for that.

Just keep checking from time to time some one will post a solution on the matter. I say if you froze or removed said app then it should be fine, it's just a small eye sore shouldn't no problem right. Don't get to greedy and try anything risky you don't want a brick!
